Icy conditions round 2 for Nebraska overnight

A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for a good portion of Nebraska starting at 9 p.m. tonight until 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. Becky Kern is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service and says another round of freezing drizzle, possibly mixed with sleet, is again in the forecast overnight.

Kern says, “It is looking like amounts will be very similar to what we saw this morning. It only takes a little bit of precipitation to fall like that to create havoc, as many are aware. The precipitation should be out of the area around sunrise, 6 or 7 o’clock in the morning Tuesday and then clearing out.”

The Winter Weather Advisory extends across a large portion of the region. Kern says it extends from northern South Dakota south to Kansas City and from central Nebraska east across all of Iowa. Kern says travel will be challenging.

Nebraskans can expect dry conditions on Wednesday but snow and freezing rain is again likely Thursday afternoon into Friday..
